great series marc!love your commentary, i like it because its similiar to bigdogs. i need those vids cause they remind me to agg up and take spots and stop playin pussypoker cause i am a real nit sometimes. ty
1st hand in this vid. Your raise with A4 is basically a full 3x to a SB limper. Can make it 2.2-2.5x and get same result. Niether of you guys mentioned the sizing. I guess because its blind vs blind you can make it bigger but think less is better.
Over limpers i def like a little bigger sizing. MAKE THE LIMPERS PAY!!!! I feel like 2.2x is getting snap flatted which isnt bad, but with so much equity in the middle i actually prefer him folding even though i am in position. If i thought i would get the same result from smaller sizing i would do it, hence why i open a little over 2x as preflop opener. I get your reasoning, i just feel like the sizing does actually make a difference so i think bigger is better.
At 15:25 you guys are caught up in conversation and don’t talk about opening with the QJo….. isn’t that a must open spot even though you’d have to call NotGonnaSay and Big4390?
I should be opening there everytime. I think i raise/fold to Notgonna, and raise call BIG. Good eye though. I think it is fine to raise fold into a 10bb, but not BIGs stack. Might not have opened because i had opened hand before, but looking back I think i should open everytime.

Solid debut by Riverman. I like the dynamic with 2 commentators bouncing ideas off each other.
